Outputs are shown in the unit system implied by your span unit, with the other system in parentheses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What Is a Uniformly Loaded Simply Supported Beam?<\/h2>\n<p>A simply supported beam rests on two supports \u2014 usually a pin at one end and a roller at the other \u2014 so it can rotate freely at both ends but cannot move vertically. It is the most common idealization in building design: floor joists, roof purlins and many structural members behave essentially this way. A <em>uniformly distributed load<\/em> (UDL) is a load spread evenly along the whole length, such as the self-weight of the beam, a floor slab it carries, or snow on a roof.<\/p>\n<p>Because the loading is symmetric, each support carries exactly half of the total load: \\(R = wL\/2\\). The bending moment varies parabolically along the span, starting at zero at each support and reaching \\(M_{max} = wL^2\/8\\) at midspan. This midspan moment is what governs the bending stress in the beam \u2014 combined with the section modulus it tells you whether the member is strong enough. For comparison, the same total load concentrated at midspan (see the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/engineering\/simply-supported-beam-with-center-point-load\/\">center-loaded simply supported beam<\/a>) produces twice the moment, so distributing a load is structurally far more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>The deflection \\(\\delta_{max} = 5wL^4\/(384EI)\\) also occurs at midspan and follows the elastic curve of the beam. Note the strong influence of the span: deflection grows with the fourth power of \\(L\\), so doubling the span increases deflection sixteen-fold. Stiffness depends on the product \\(EI\\): a stiffer material (higher \\(E\\)) or a deeper cross-section (much higher \\(I\\), since \\(I\\) scales roughly with the cube of depth) both reduce deflection. If you are interested in how Young's modulus also controls dynamic behaviour, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/engineering\/youngs-modulus-spring-resonant-frequency\/\">Young's modulus spring resonant frequency calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Assumptions and Practical Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Small deflections, linear elasticity:<\/strong> the formulas assume the material stays below its yield point and deflections are small relative to the span, so superposition and Euler\u2013Bernoulli beam theory apply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ideal supports:<\/strong> the beam is treated as pin-supported at one end and roller-supported at the other, with no fixity. Real connections that restrain rotation reduce both moment and deflection, so this is a conservative idealization for deflection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Load covers the whole span:<\/strong> partial-length loads, point loads, or overhangs need different (or superposed) formulas. A central point load alone is handled by the <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/engineering\/simply-supported-beam-with-center-point-load\/\">center point load calculator<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Self-weight counts:<\/strong> include the beam's own weight in \\(w\\) unless the load is specified as an imposed (superimposed) load only.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check deflection limits:<\/strong> many codes limit live-load deflection to \\(L\/360\\) (e.g. floors) or \\(L\/240\\). For the worked example, \\(L\/360 = 4000\/360 \\approx 11\\ \\text{mm}\\), so a 16.7 mm deflection would exceed a typical floor limit and a stiffer section would be needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Units must be consistent:<\/strong> the calculator converts everything internally, but if you use the formulas by hand, keep \\(w\\), \\(L\\), \\(E\\) and \\(I\\) in a single coherent system (N, m, Pa, m\u2074) before converting the result.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calculates the support reactions, maximum bending moment and midspan deflection of a simply supported beam carrying a uniformly distributed load.
